What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to translate mass flow rates from pound/second to kilogram/hour for gasoline at 15.5 °C. It ensures an accurate mass-based conversion that reflects gasoline density at the specified reference temperature to support billing, inventory management, and fuel consumption analysis.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in pound/second for gasoline at 15.5 °C.
-
Select pound/second as the input unit and kilogram/hour as the output unit.
-
Start the conversion to get the equivalent mass flow in kilogram/hour.
-
Use the result to support engineering, billing, or fuel measurement tasks.
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow units for gasoline referenced to 15.5 °C temperature standard.
-
Supports custody transfer, engine testing, and fuel consumption reporting.
-
Based on a precise conversion rate between pound/second and kilogram/hour.
-
Easy-to-use interface for quick and accurate unit conversion.
Examples
-
2 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to 3265.8650634 kilogram/hour.
-
0.5 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to 816.46626585 kilogram/hour.
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and billing at petroleum terminals or pipelines.
-
Engine fuel consumption measurement and performance testing.
-
Calibration and verification of fuel flow meters and dispensers.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline temperature is at the 15.5 °C reference when measuring.
-
Use this mass flow converter for consistent and density-corrected results.
-
Apply this conversion for accurate inventory and billing in fuel handling.
-
Verify calibration of measurement instruments regularly for reliability.
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline being exactly at 15.5 °C.
-
Units address mass flow, so volumetric changes due to temperature or pressure must be corrected separately.
-
Reliable results require calibrated devices and stable temperature control.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why use pound/second and kilogram/hour for gasoline flow?
-
These units reflect the mass flow adjusted for gasoline density at 15.5 °C, providing consistent mass-based measurements for custody transfer, billing, and performance testing.
-
Can I use this converter if gasoline temperature differs from 15.5 °C?
-
The conversion assumes gasoline is at the 15.5 °C reference. Temperature deviations can affect density and thus require separate corrections.
-
Does this tool convert volumetric flow rates?
-
No, this converter translates mass flow units only. Volumetric adjustments for temperature or pressure need separate handling.
Key Terminology
-
Pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit representing pounds of gasoline per second, adjusted for density at 15.5 °C.
-
Kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit that expresses kilograms of gasoline per hour, standardized to 15.5 °C for density consistency.
-
Mass Flow
-
The amount of mass passing a point per unit time, used here to measure gasoline movement irrespective of volume changes.
